Electrochemistry
Electrochemical processes:• Oxidation-reduction (redox) processes, which involve
electron transfers from one substance to another• Energy released by a spontaneous chemical reaction is
converted into electricity (e.g., battery)• Electrical energy can be used to force a non-spontaneous
reaction to occur (e.g., electrolysis)

Basics of electricity
•Voltage (E) is the potential energy per electron (Volts; V)
•Work is the electron potential energy times the total charge moved (Joules; J): w = E x qtot
•Current (I) represents the number of electrons passing through per second (Amperes; A)
•Resistance (Ohm’s law) is R = E / I (Ohm or Ω; “load”)
•Power is P = E x I (Watts)

Oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions)
Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one atom/molecule to another.
Example: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)
Electrons are transferred from iron to oxygen.

Redox reactions
• Reaction atoms gain or lose electrons:
If one loses one (or more) electron, another must gain one (or more) electron
• Atoms that lose electrons are being oxidized• Atoms that gain electrons are being reduced• LEO GER:
Loss of electrons is oxidation, gain of electrons is reduction• OIL RIG:
Oxidation is loss of electrons, reduction is gain of electrons

Keeping track of electron transfer
• Oxidation state:• Oxidation states are not polyatomic ion charges• Oxidation states are imaginary charges based on a
set of rules (next slide)• However, ion charges are real and measurable
• Oxidation states are written -1, -2, +2, etc. • Ion charges are written 1-, 2-, 2+, etc.

• Oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously• The reactant that reduces an atom is called the reducing agent
The reducing agent contains the element that is oxidized• The reactant that oxidizes an atom is called the oxidizing agent
The oxidizing agent contains the element that it reduced

Balancing redox reactions in acidic solution
1. Assign oxidation states to all atoms and identify the substances being oxidized and reduced.
Oxidation numbers: Fe2+ is +2, Fe3+ is +3, Cr3+ is +3.
For Cr2O
72-: O is -2 and the sum must be -2, so:
7 . (-2) + 2x = -2, which gives x = 6. Thus Cr is +6.
Cr is reduced (+6 to +3) and Fe (+2 to +3) is oxidized.
Fe2+(aq) + Cr2O72-(aq) → Fe3+(aq) + Cr3+(aq)
